Azobisisobutyronitrile → HCID 20258750, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Acrylic acid/stearyl methacrylate copolymers were prepared in the following manner: 101.5 grams of Mineral Oil (Isopar®), 0.36 grams of azobisisobutyronitrile initiator, 0.9 grams of Witconate® P10-59 emulsifier and stearyl methacrylate (SMA) were weighed into eight ounce bottles. Acrylic acid (AA) was then weighed in, and the bottles were agitated to mix and dissolve all chemicals. These bottles were also purged with an inert gas, capped and placed in a 60° C. bottle bath for 16 hours. After polymerization of the monomers, the percent solids in the slurry was determined and the total polymer conversion and yields were calculated. Table I exhibits the specific amounts of each monomer used.
